Residents in Buraidah have complained about the presence of random rest houses and shops as well as illegal workers and have called upon the authorities to intervene.

Eisssa Alfaez, a citizen, said that there are several issues which need urgent solutions in Al-Salmiya where small grocers and random bakeries have sprung up throughout the neighborhood spoiling the beauty of the town and disturbing the citizens. “What is the point of paving roads and landscaping when illegal workers come and go freely taking up space with random rest houses, grocers and bakeries?” he asked.
